Teen Gothic

Lol that was funny. I had to explain myself to one of the staff. Luckily, they still allowed me to play music.

It’s pretty unfortunate that the album’s name is that haha. Still got to listen the album, I’m pretty sure some of the other staff thought I was listening to music because it would be strange if I was listening to porn

genuinely want to know cuz i am thinking of Hawaiian black shirt with bats?

My mother was pretty damn goth when I was growing up, and she still is. When I was young, I remember I had an iPod touch chock full of bands like Switchblade Symphony, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Angelspit, Nox Arcana, London After Midnight, and a bunch of other gothic rock, dark cabaret, darkwave, industrial bands and songs, and some from other genres that make up the subculture. When I was getting to be the same size as her between, like, 5th and 6th grade, we'd share a bunch of clothes, I also remember being really happy to wear her super nice black lace skirt to school or one of her many many sick graphic t-shirts. Plus I loved her jewelry, lots of snakes and skulls and the like that I thought was so cool. Gothic movies and books and a bunch of macabre artwork she made and bought also was around the house when I was a kid. Just… Everything, I guess!

Ended up distancing myself from the subculture as a teenager, as teenagers will do, but in my 20s I feel drawn back to it a bit. Honestly makes me really nostalgic, the music and the fashion and the pop culture and really everything! I was wondering if anybody else also grew up in it, just out of curiosity 🙂

Thanks you!!

I learned to DJ last year & have had a couple of gigs here & there. I’m interested in doing a club night anywhere in Cali. & would like some advice & suggestions. I grew up listening to bands like Big Electric Cat, The Veil, Witching Hour, and Rosetta Stone to name a few and would love to spin the music I grew up listening to. I’m open to advice from DJs, promoters and club attendees 🖤 My biggest concern is partnering up with the wrong ppl that are hyperfocused in lots of drama :/

Is deathrock goth cuz I saw bloody dead and sexy labeled as "deathrock" but they sound goth to me so is deathrock a goth subgenre or just something similar?

Romanticism and sexuality seem fairly common within the goth subculture (whether of the music, band performances, conversations, fans, etc), and it can become too much and hard to avoid, like a lot of the content in mainstream media. It's somewhat alienating. It's as though indifference or adversity to such is quite rare, but curious if there are otherwise. If so, what are those thoughts on romantic and sexual matters in any aspect of the subculture?

Current list:

A – Adrenaline by Rosetta Stone

B – Body and Soul by The Sisters of Mercy

C – Closer by Joy Division

D – Disintegration by The Cure

I basically walked right into that one, didn't I? But come on guys, show some love and appreciation to the other four albums. They're pretty solid as well.

Anyway, rules/explanations (will be writing this for every post in case somebody just stumbles upon it):

Must be goth. Read the sidebar/wiki/FAQ if you're unsure.

One band per letter. Any attempt to nominate a band already featured will be ignored.

Doesn't have to be strictly an album, can be an EP.

Please post only one album per comment so I know what exactly you're nominating. (Plus it's easier to keep track of.) You can comment multiple times though.

Each round ends after 24 hours. (Inconsistent post schedule, will post whenever I feel like it.)

Articles could count or be ignored for the next word in the title.

Best/favourite album that starts with E?
